get some promix for soil, I would recommend myccorhizae too, it is a beneficial fungi that will help your plants grow faster. Is the 400 in an air cooled hood? You will need a decent exhaust fan at least a 250cfm fan. Also you need a line of nutirents, I use Botanicare pro grow/bloom.

Again, what type of soil did you get? You need at least a 250 cfm for exhaust. The temp should be no more 85 max at the tops of the plants. It sounds like your on the right track. Just buy a line of nutrients and follow the directions to a "T" and you should be fine.

It will work but it will get tricky when flowering always having to remember to shut the door before lights out and always being there to open it. It is too easy to slip up in my opinion. I bought an inline fan from homedepot for 30 bucks, a six inch 250cfm fan. Get rid of the aluminum foil and buy some mylar, it reflects something like 95%, aluminum foil reflects 70%

is that your ballast sitting next to the plants?

take that out of your chamber and that should help the temperature situation.

well I'am not an expert,I actually got quite hot growdrobe myself (26-29C) but I don't have a problems with heat stress. I've put my fan in to the chimney and it's sucking air from in out. The inlet is close to light bulb and I grow with my doors closed all the time as it is all fitted in kitchen. And what I think is a good thin is that when it gets smelly, it will come out from house. So to avoid neighbours smelling anythig I've put an carbon filter on the oher side of fan. I think it's working ok. Yeah, and to get some air in when you close the door, I dril set of holes to bottom of cupboard. That actualy dropped a temperature by 2-3C.
hope it helps

here are the pictures. U wont't be able to see the fan, because I couldn't fit it to unit so I burried it in to the chimney brest next to it and then I conected ducting from it to cupboard. I made it unaccesable but fuck it. If it goes I open that chimney again, but I doubt it. I just like my kitchen tidy.. About the smell. Well, I didn't get to flowering yet, but that filter looked man enough to handle the job. Input was 5 inches in diameter and filter itself was about 8 by 20 inches. And because it goes to chmney I am not worying about smell at al but it might be different case with you. But I think if you browse net, you can find all the info about the flow and how well it works which is what i did. Also I do have one more fan, just a small baby one (underneath microwave) blowing air in, but that one I don't use that often, because you can hear it and it drives me crazy. The one in chimney is much bigger but quiet. The small one I just turn on when I go to work just to make plants moving a bit to make them stronger. I would leave it on all the time if I knew it affects temperature but unfortunetly it doesn't.
hope it's any help to you...
and hope you have less yelow leaves than me...
cause it's a bloody science
